This author noted that "commodious or cramped" paragraphs come to resemble Paris, Texas rather than Paris, France in an essay that also discourses on the auditory qualities of a line from Dickens's David Copperfield. He wrote a story about a man who has "sailed the seas and come..." to a town called B, where that man writes poems about elderly figures like Billy Holsclaw and envies his cat, Mr. Tick, for his affinity with nature. This author of "The Sentence Seeks Its Form" wrote a novel whose protagonist creates the imaginary "Party for Disappointed People" and fills antique furniture with dirt while hiding pages of the introduction to the book Guilt and Innocence in Hitler's Germany. The first novel by this creator of William Frederick Kohler is partly narrated by Jethro Furber and Israbestis Tott and sees Henry Pimber hang himself after learning that he can never acquire the title quality of its protagonist, Brackett. For 10 points, identify this author of A Temple of Texts and "In the Heart of the Heart of the Country", who won an American Book Award for The Tunnel and also penned Omensetter's Luck.
